But overall timeline is around 4-6 months , for expectation on the first assessment as a starting point. So for those take at July for example, you can expect Jan thereabout for your answer.
For those in August, maybe in Feb.
And yes, it is difficult , in fact very difficult to get in. It is easy to get out, but what you gonna do outside as the skills transfer might not be very relevant and there are things you cannot share as you had signed some documents.
DYDD, choose wisely when offered, try to ask for a higher pay.

IMO if you do get offered in SID, better think very carefully about the package they are offering, especially the salary. This is even more critical for fresh school leavers without prior working experience. Reason I'm saying is that once you get in, and if the work and conditions/environment eventually start to beat/wear you down, at least a good salary will motivate and keep you going. The risk is once you leave, you might not have alot of transferable skills that will make you attractive to employers outside. Considering the nature of this employment, likely you won't have alot of bargaining chips, unless you are a highly prized asset to the organisation due to some highly specialised knowledge/skills, etc. So think over and over again, look carefully at the compensation package, before you sign, especially for those without prior work experience to back you up, this could be a sure way to mess the rest of your life up should you find dissatisfaction later on.
